Possibly sucking in air somewhere. Double check that sensor is working.

It's critical to retrieve the CEL code. See link in my signature.

Is the EACV compatible with the new manifold?

Did you install new gaskets on the manifold and throttle body? Look for an intake air leak from these gaskets, as well as from the rubber seals of the EACV and fast idle valve. Also double check the vacuum hose connections.

I TRIED TO GET THE CODES IT WONT DO IT. I HAVE DOEN IT DOZENS OF TIMES IT ALWAYS WORKS. FOR SOME REASON IT WONT FLASH THE CEL. IT JUST COMES ON AND STAYS ON AND THE SRS LIGHT CONINUALLY FLASHES. IT IS A D15B7 BY THE WAY. THE SI INTAKE MANI IS A COMMON UPGRADE ON THE CHEAP. OH AND WHAT IS THE EACV AND WHERE IS IT

OK SO I JUST WENT OUT AND CHECKED IT THE CEL LIGHT WAS ON BECAUSE I JUST NEVER UN HOOKED THE LITTLE WIRE LOOP. SO I DONT HAVE A CEL. ITS NOT THROWING ANY CODES. WHAT COULD CAUSE IT TO BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH 500 RPS WITHOUT THROWING A CODE

Now that the jumper wire has been removed, have you checked whether the idle problem is gone?

Given that you just replaced the IM, you likely have an intake air leak from the IM or throttle body. Also try bleeding the cooling system (see manual) of possible trapped air.

Finally, the EACV or fast idle valve might also be dirty or the rubber seals are leaking.

EACV = IACV (on the throttle body)

By the way, you need to insert your signature picture into [IMG][/IMG] rather than [IMG][/IMG].

ok so i went home from work last night and did some troubleshooting. i think its my eacv or whatever its called my idol air control valve.if i unplug the connector the check engine light comes on and it idols fine but does not drive good at all. if i plug it back in it idols fine when i first start it then as soon as it gets gas it idols up and down and yes in neautral and in drive(its a stick)

SO HERE IS MY NEW QUESTION!!!!!!
PLEASE RESPOND IF YOU HAVE EVER SWAPED A D16Z6 INTAKE MANIFOLD ON YOUR D15B7.NOT A MINI ME JUST THE INTAKE MANI.

THE D16Z6 AND D15B7 HAVE DIFFERENT EACV'S. I TRYED MY OLD ONE (D15B7)BUT I KNOW THAT IT WAS STARING TO GO(DIDNT WORK). AND THE ONE THAT I GOT ON IT WAS OVIOUSLY BAD.

WHICH ONE DO I WANT TO ORDER, ITS $160.00 SO I WANNA MAKE SURE I GET THE RIGHT ONE?

DID YOU SWAP THEM OUT WHEN YOU SWAPED THE MANI OR DID YOU JUST SWAP MANIS HOOK EVERYTHING UP AND IT WAS FINE?
